I brought a brand new 2019 ford ranger with 2.3L ecoboost engine I have seen the video were you state that it is ridiculous how the car company's have put these little engine's in such large vehicles you stated that there is a lot of strain on the engine I agree. My question is the manual says to use 87 octane but I have been using 93 octane gas do you think I will do damage to my engine if I continue to use 93 octane. I brought this vehicle because I like the styling.
I would go by manufacture recommendations, I always like the motor, it's been around or years, well proven from pinto up. Was offenhouser race motor if I remember correctly, they had soft cam in pinto, long cured. A lot of big cars have small motors now. Down sides towing capacity.
